Sometimes you find the best pieces on the most unexpected places. In this particular case, I found this skirt at a garage sale that a girl was having on the street in the Mission District for $10 (you have to love San Francisco.) It’s one of those basic pieces that just ends up fitting you and your wardrobe perfectly. As I’ve said before on this blog, I feel like every article of clothing in my wardrobe is something I either spent too much money on, or spent next to nothing. Usually they are either used clothing for extremely cheap, or it’s more of an essential statement piece that I’ve deemed worth spending money on. There’s really no in between for me. Is anyone else like that or am I just weird?

Anyway, hope you guys are having a wonderful Monday. I was excited for the eclipse all weekend, but it looks like it will be far too cloudy to see anything in San Francisco. Did any of you guys get a good view?

In case you guys weren’t aware by the title of this blog, I’m obsessed wit hats. They are probably my favorite accessory. For this post, I’ve partnered with Peter Grimm, to show how I’m pairing a few hats from his collection.

So this one is my favorite. If you follow me on instagram, you know I wear it constantly. It’s black and goes with absolutely everything. It’s also extremely structured and durable. Not kidding, it once flew into the street, got run over by a bus, and then popper right back into place. I still wear it.

Another one that I’m currently wearing everywhere. Seeing as grey is also a neutral, it goes with pretty much anything. Here I’ve paired it with one of my go-to outfits: black jeans, denim jacket and creepers

Olive green is currently my favorite color. Not too girly, but still very in style. Here I’ve paired this one with black jeans, platforms and a vintage flannel shirt. it also looks bad ass with an all black outfit.

Hope you guys like this post. I apologize about how long it’s been since I’ve posted. The truth is, I’ve been so busy recently that I’ve barely had time to shoot proper Outfit Of The Day looks. The good news is, Kevin and I invested in a much better camera, so the quality of my photos will go up! I’m hoping to focus more on quality rather than quantity. There was a time in which I was posting every day, and I’m realizing that’s just not possible for me right now. I am going to try to post on this blog once a week. I will, however, be updating my Instagram every day as usual, so you can always find my on there 🙂

Sorry for the infrequent posts as of late, it’s been a busy past couple of months. Some good news though: my fiance and I invested in a new camera. It’s something we’ve been thinking about a lot this past year, and seeing as our honeymoon is coming up, we figured we would go ahead and buy it. I’m hoping that we can use it to increase the quality of photos on this blog as well.
Anyway, this is a pretty old look (and shot with my ipone in case you couldn’t tell). I’ve been getting into the bralette trend recently, especially ones like this because they have patterns around the collar and neckline. I’ve got a ridiculous collection of loose mini dresses and slips, so I find that bralettes like this are the perfect thing to layer with them. I’ve also managed to find a few super cheap ones on Amazon and linked them above. This slip is old, but I’ve linked a few similar ones from Free People that would work well with this look!

This skirt used to be one of my favorite dresses. Supposedly it was fine to put in both the washer and dryer, but that ended up shrinking it drastically (don’t you hate it when that happens?) I loved the print so much that I couldn’t bear to throw it away, so I ended up chopping it into a skirt. This has been something I’ve been doing whenever I wreck one of my dresses or am simply bored of a maxi dress that I own. Personally, I’d rather alter something to my current style than have it hanging in my wardrobe never used. I paired it with a simple graphic T-shirt and my anklet flats for a casual day look.

Hope you guys like the look. I’ve got a few new collaborations coming soon, stay tuned!

I’ll admit that this outfit is mostly about the shoes. I picked these up at Topshop the other week, and am completely obsessed with the nude/pink color. I just paired them with one of my dozens of Free People trapeze slips, and layered a pale pink slip beneath to match the shoes.

Some of you may have noticed that I haven’t been doing too many outfit posts recently. This is because of two reasons:

1.) My phone broke, and all my photos, including a week’s work of looks were lost.
2.) Our apartment is being remodeled, and there has been clutter everywhere, including this hallway.

You may have noticed that there is now a door in my hallway, where there used to be nothing. I’m not crazy about it, but I’m hoping that once it’s finished and painted, it will look better.

Anyways, I’m hoping to get back to posting more regularly now. Hope you guys like the outfit!

A slightly preppier look than usual. I immediately fell in love with this plaid skirt when I found it on Romwe, (especially because it’s only $12). It’s somehow classic and trendy all at once. I paired it with a black turtleneck crop top, and my nosebleed T.U.K. shoes to give the look a slightly edgier feel. I’ve also been wearing it with button down shirts and opaque black tights to the office for a more professional outfit.

Honestly I never saw myself buying a pair of patterned pants like these. For the most part I like to stick to black/dark blue jeans or leggings. My fiance convinced me to try them on when we were in a shop in San Diego. I’d seen the trend recently, but I was positive I was going to hate them. I was surprised to find that they were just about the most comfortable thing I’d ever worn (like pajama pants), and were surprisingly flattering. Here I’ve paired it with a simple black crop top, but I’ve also been wearing them with plain over-sized t-shirts. I wasn’t able to find the exact link to these pants, but I’ve linked some other ones above that I will probably be purchasing.

Today is the first day in San Francisco that it has ceased raining in at least a week, and I’ve forgotten how much I like the sun. I’m looking forward to the three day weekend to shoot some new looks done and catch up on writing (I’ve started working on a new novel recently).

Long pleated skirts have been showing up a lot recently in fall fashion, so for my second look with Stylewe, I thought I’d put together a look using one. The first thing that comes to mind with a skirt like this is a more professional look: something that you might wear to the office. I actually like to wear pleated skirts in a more casual setting as well, I think it adds interesting contrast between pieces. Here, I’ve paired this skirt with one of my favorite graphic tees and a pair of flat anklets for a casual, preppy look. This is something I’d wear when walking around the city during the day, I wore this last time i went thrift store shopping in the Mission district.

Last week I got asked to collaborate with Zaful, a trendy online clothing shop that has become quite popular as of late. When I checked out their website, it was quite impressed with their variety and prices (pretty much any popular trend of the season is present).

This is my first look of the collaboration (first of 4). As you know, crop tops and maxi skirts are one of my favorite go-to looks for the summer. I went for a nude knit crop top, and a midi black skirt with a pair of chunky platform sandals for a 90’s vibe. I’ll be posting the rest of these looks later this week. Let me know what you guys think!
